Mochika Culture - Mochika Culture
The culture of the Classical Andean civilization (Mochica). It flourished from around BC to 800 AD, centered on the Chicama and Moche river basins on the northern coast of Peru, and developed large cities centered on temples and had excellent irrigation facilities. There is a concentration of political power and a differentiation of social classes based on gender and status. The production of pottery and textiles, characterized by realistic patterns and shapes, was also popular. Like the preceding Chavin culture, there are iconographic representations of deified felines, especially jaguars.
